The Trump campaign’s litigation strategy in Pennsylvania has been very hard to follow. It has changed drastically again at the eleventh hour — or beyond.
As I detailed Wednesday, the strategy of abandoning fraud claims weirdly left the campaign pursuing a case that could not prevail . . . a fatal flaw since, without wresting Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes from presumptive president-elect Joe Biden, President Trump would have no chance of reversing the election result. Realizing that, the campaign is now desperately trying not only to reverse itself but to raise additional claims, even though we are past the point where Judge Matthew Brann expected to have held any necessary evidentiary hearing. For good measure, the Trump campaign is also seeking a restraining order to enjoin the Commonwealth from certifying the vote. Under Pennsylvania law, that is supposed to happen in just three days (Monday, November 23).
